An icon is normally specified with an Icon argument to a constructor or to the component s setIcon method. An Icon is an object of any class that implements interface Icon package . One such class is ImageIcon package which supports several image formats including Graphics Interchange Format GIF Portable Network Graphics PNG and Joint Photographic Experts Group JPEG .

Method geTResource uses the Class object s class .
